I am developing a UDF for screw threads and ports and need some support understanding whether a certain implementation is possible and how to manage references to make it happen.  Insofar, I have defined UDFs with a coordinate system that every other feature ultimately points to and placed these UDFs using that coordinate system and one placed in the model, or the on-surface coordinate system option. My understanding is that the basest feature(s) appearing in any UDF will be what all the other features ultimately reference.  Ultimately, we would like these UDFs to be placed with reference to an axis the screw goes along and the face the screw extends from. However, I'm struggling to figure out if it's possible to manage references in such a way that those are the reference prompts. I have been experimenting for a while and can't arrange datums in a way that accomplishes this.  More broadly, I've been having some trouble defining UDFs to point to anything B

I define a vector variable X (using a program block) in one part of the MathCad document.The variable is computed correctly and I can access any element Xi later on by the expression Xi :=However when I try to call Xi inside another program block further down, I get "This variable is undefined" error.Would appreciate any suggestions.

I can't seem to delete a cable break after placing it. I don't see the "X" that is supposed to represent the cable break in the flat model. Anyone experienced this issue?The only way I have been able to successfully delete it is to delete the entire cable segment.

Good afternoon,  I am new to using GD&T advisor, so far as a tool i think it potentially has a lot of benefits. However i am at a stage where i have completed all the GD&T definitions, and now want to add some traditional dimensions, eg. linear dimensions from datums to plane surfaces. When i try it says 'no applicable reference'. I am unsure how i can have traditional dimensions along side GD&T

I am using Creo Parametric 10. I am encountering a similar issue to what is described here: (1) Replace by unrelated component and asm0001 already... - PTC Community. From that, I am able to delete the "asm0001.asm" from my workspace and that allows me to use replace by unrelated component. However, when I try to upload the "replacement" part to Windchill, I get the error "Assembly - asm0001.asm is not unique".  I checked the Reference Viewer in the part, and asm0001.asm is not listed. Where else can I check to break the reference? The part file is a family table, if that matters.

Trying to make a plot where the line type is just a dot for every point. This is useful for eye diagrams. The interface behavior is really strange...It won't let you select it.  I'm using 10.0.1.0

after installation of creo 11 student version the screen became black and no entities are highlited when drawn. My graphic card is RTX3050. windows 11

I am looking for a feature in Creo that allows you to select faces of two features and determine the relationship between them. For example, in SolidWorks, if you select two flat surfaces, it will show whether they are parallel or perpendicular in the bottom right corner or the analysis window. Similarly, if you select two circles, it will indicate if they are concentric or offset. Is there a feature in Creo that provides similar functionality or something close to it? Thank you.

Hello,In mathcad prime, is there a reason why prime ( using P9)  keep losing some images that i pasted in a sheet and replaces some of the images with " Browse for Image?Thanks,Sam

Hi,Find V2 voltage.  

Hi I'm trying to make an asynchronous app that help automate some processes.is it possible to iterate through all parts/sub assemblies in an assembly and add all components with a specific file name (test.prt for example) and add them to the selection buffer? I want the user to have the option to right click and hide/exclude/delete the selected components.   any example of how to add components to selection buffer will be appreciated. thanks 

I can define the thread hole format in the .hol file after  edit CALLOUT_FORMAT line.but i can't define the countersink hole format based on this way, anyone can tell me how to define that? another problem is how to hide the zero after the decimal point?

I could use some help understanding the differences between User Defined Features and Family Tables, working in Creo 10, how you choose which to use when trying to standardize/parameterize a particular component or feature, and why you would use a User Defined Feature that contains (or otherwise references) a Family Table or vice versa. Here is my current understanding of the differences:User Defined FeaturesCreated from features in a part file, may or may not maintain references to it (subordinate/standalone)Creates a .gph fileUsed with a series of defined prompts that relate to feature parameters (dimensions etc) and placement in the model using itInstances as a body or a modification to a bodyFamily TablesBased around a generic ancestor part fileCreates additional part files as you create instancesUsed by assembling instances of the relevant part fileInstances as a part

I am trying to do geotechnical calculations that I hope to refine.I hope someone can help me with whether it is possible to set up calculations via an input table with different soil layers, which give different stresses, which are used for equilibrium calculations.The simple problem below is solved as a simple hand calculation, but quickly becomes complicated when there are more soil layers, and when the rotation point jumps from different layers.          is it possible to do an input tabel with "i" layers and devide all into "n" layers either by index methode ord vector. And then do the rotation calucation by means off "sum" or intregrate with their respektive "hn" I hope anyone can help me in the right direaction, i am not an expext in advanced use off mathcad

Hi, when I put the subassembly, wich parts are constrained to the straight lines in the picture below, in an assembly, I would like to modify the green circled sketch dimension from a value of 1160 mm to 1400 mm with 20 mm pitch dimensions: how can I do it without relations?Is there a method that allow this procedure with flexible dimension?  Thank you, Michele Baril

Hi, Prime 10.0.0.0 problem, when using the odesolve, I can display the displacement vector, but I can't list the first and second derivatives, when using the prime operator.  I can ask for discrete values, but the range variable, only works for the displacement term. I get a message stating that the "calculation is not converging to a solution", although I can plot it. Can anyone assist?,  

I am pretty new to Creo Parametric and running into an issue where updating a part requires large amount of re-definition in assembly. I'm designing an adaptor between a t-slot beam and a table, the adaptor is applied 20 times over. Every time I make a change to the adaptor's sketch or thickness the assembly requires me to redo all the definitions of parts around all the adaptors. How should I avoid this?

I need to print and add to word these mathcad calcs with a bunch of warnings saying that the variable is undefined since these are all symbolic calculations:so i am not assigning a value to any of these variables at any point.surprisingly to me when I print, they all come like this: how can I get mathcad not to display these messages and highlights? edit: I went here, and tried selecting/unselecting everything and no luck:   

I have an assembly that needs multiple configurations. In one configuration component A is assembled to component B. In another configuration, A is assembled to component C and B doesn't exist or is suppressed.I think using a Family Table and Constraint sets would be a great solution. In the first FT instance I have a Constraint Set that constrains A to B and in a second instance, I have another Constraint Set that assembles A to C. However, the problem is that when I suppress B in the second instance, A becomes suppressed as well. I'm assuming this is because the Constraint Set that is used in the first instance makes A a child of B. Is there any workaround for this? Is there any discussion about having disabled Constraint Sets severing or negating parent/child relationships? It seems to me that would make sense and open more flexibility when using Creo assemblies. Currently using Creo 11

I have a set of commands that sort through a text file to get values, make some of those values a number and then name those values.  (See Attached).  When I calculate the sheet, I can literally see Prime paint the values into my sheet.  Is there a faster way?

Hello,Can I get assistance on this? We configured a new pc for the user and we need to install Mathcad onto the new system. 

Is it possible to read data from several tabs in Mathcad 15 from an excel file?

I'm bringing in a value from a text file.  I'm pretty sure Prime wants to display the value in radians.  But the value is really 84.11 degrees.  How can I make Prime display this as 84.11 degrees?

I can't get a texture to save in the company appearance.dmt with the texture file saved. Is that because the  save_texture_with_model does what it says and saves the texture with the CAD file?   Anyone have any luck saving a texture file in the appearance.dmt for use as a company standard? Hoping I am just missing something easy here. I tried putting the texture file (.jpg) in the same folder as the appearance file but that doesn't seem to be working. When I open up the appearance.dmt with a text editor the there is a color_map line that references my jpg filename so it is saved in that file. Does the full path need to be in there?

Good day to anyone, first time posting here! I've been having a very simple issue, but as I am accumulating an increasingly large amount of files and need to navigate multiple folders, it has become quite a hassle that Creo's 'File>Open' Menu only allows for opening a single .prt file at once. Unfortunately, as the files in question are only somewhat related, they are not part of an assembly and as such cannot be opened together using the 'Open Subgroup' option.In many other programs, I could use Control-click to select multiple files individually or Shift-click on two files to select all files inbetween, then have all selected files opened in their own respective windows after clicking the 'Open' button. Is there a hidden option to select that would allow me to open multiple files at once? Or could I somehow replace the file mangement system with a somewhat more user-friendly one? Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Any assistance in the matter would be very
